Hi, I'm Amy Millis

A little about Me

I am based in Hampshire, United Kingdom

My journey as an artist began during a period of uncertainty, as I navigated challenges of chronic illness and my mental health. Throughout that time art had always been my therapy so I enrolled on a three year Art & Design course, where I graduated with a Distinction. This led me to pursue my dream job as a full time artist working from my home studio with the privilege of my cats by my side, who inspired some of my very first portraits.I specialise in Fine Art & Illustration. My areas of expertise are coloured pencils & graphite portraits varying in size.My work is defined by a meticulous, layered approach that allows me to build and achieve a refined level of detail in each piece capturing realistic tonal variations by building depth, fine details, textures and subtle expressions with carefully calculated precision making each illustration feel unique and one-of-a-kind.For me, the art I create is more than creating a likeness – it’s about preserving memories, celebrating nature and animals so they can be treasured for years to come. Every commission and original piece is made with a genuine love of drawing, ensuring that each artwork is as individual and beautiful as the inspiration behind it.

Private Comissions

My Private Commissions offer the opportunity to own a truly bespoke piece of fine art, created specifically for you based on your chosen subject.Each commission is undertaken on a limited basis to ensure every illustration receives the time, attention, and level of detail it deserves. When commissioning a portrait, please bear in mind that the best quality, highest resolution photographs are essential to allowing me to achieve the closest likeness. I am always happy to discuss photography options and choices with you during the initial stages of booking your commission.Upon agreeing on a portrait size, reference photographs, price and timescale, a deposit of 25% is required to secure your booking with me.If you are interested in commissioning a piece, please get in touch below
